Two workers at a Hunt Clubarea day care have been fired after allegedly using masking tape to keep children in their cots during nap time. Three or four children were involved in the incidents at the day care at Bayview Public School, but none were injured, according to reports. The early childhood educators were suspended and later fired following an investigation by the nursery in February, by the Ottawa School Day Nursery, a not-for-profit organization that leases 13 facilities at elementary schools from the Ottawa public school board. “They don’t fall under the school district,” said Hyacinth Haddad, spokesperson for the board. Mark Fisher, trustee for Gloucester-Southgate/Osgoode, said he was taken aback by the reports of abuse at the Bayview centre. “I was just shocked when I read it,” he said. “I was just

floored.” He said the self-governing nursery will fall under the board’s governance starting in September. “OSDN will be merged back into the school board so we can use those assets and those people to help run the full-day kindergarten program,” he said. INCIDENT REPORTED

President of the Ottawa School Day Nursery Inc. Deborah Cooper said three or four children of unknown ages were not injured by the taping. The investigation was done in response to complaints from parents after it was revealed a child had been taped to a cot, Cooper said. Cooper said she was not aware of an incident of this nature happening already before. Cooper said she contacted the Children’s Aid Society and the Ministry of Children and Youth Services, as she is required to do, as they are responsible for Ottawa School Day Nursery Inc.

EMC News –The Perley and Rideau Veterans’ Centre continues to grow its affordable housing options for seniors. The official opening of the first phase of 45 new affordable rental housing units for the facility’s Seniors Village was held on June 19. The project is a partnership between all three levels of government.

There to mark the grand opening was Premier Kathleen Wynne, Alice Wong, minister of state for seniors, and Mayor Jim Watson. The hospital received $4.5 million from the federal and provincial governments under the Canada-Ontario Affordable Housing Program Agreement to create more housing for veterans and seniors living on low incomes. One of the largest not-for-profit longterm care centres in Ontario, the centre

has expanded its programs and services to create the Perley Rideau Seniors Village, which includes two buildings with 139 specially designed apartments, assisted living services for those in need at home or in the new apartments, respite care to help caregivers of family members with dementia, convalescent care, and other health services. “Our government is investing in affordable housing here in Ottawa, to help create jobs and improve the qual-

ity of life of our seniors,” said Wong. “This initiative will help seniors living on low-income in our community access safe and affordable housing that meets their needs.” Wynne said putting seniors first is a priority for the Ontario government. “It is part of our proud history, but it is also an essential factor in our collective vision for the future,” she said.

EMC news - The food bank in Vanier is taking production into its own hands when it plants 10 garden boxes full of produce to be distributed to clients. On July 5 and 6, Partage Vanier will be setting up a community garden, the first of its kind in the city for a food bank. The garden will help provide fresh produce to families in need in the neighbourhood. Partage Vanier intake worker France Boies announced the build day at the Vanier Beautification summer party held recently. The organization, Bois said, is hoping for volunteers to help get the garden up and running. This will be the first community garden owned and run by a food bank and the fourth community garden in Vanier. The Vanier Community Garden has 36 individual plots and donates two of the plots, which will be managed by volunteers who grow food to donate to Partage Vanier. As co-founder of the Vanier Community Garden located at Richelieu Park, Marguerite Beaulieu said the

development was good news for the community. “This is what we always dreamed of, isn’t it?” she said to Mike Bulthuis, president of the Vanier Community Association and co-founder of the community garden alongside Beaulieu. “You can always count on us for any help you need,” Beaulieu added. SCHOOL JOINS IN

As strong supporter of community gardens, Rideau High School has helped build all the garden boxes for Vanier’s gardens in the past, but this late in the school year it means the food bank will be building the boxes on their own. “We need any help we can get as well as tools,” Boies said. Volunteers are needed and can contact Boies at fboies@cscvanier. com or by calling 613-744-2892, ext. 1033. The boxes will line the side of the food bank’s property at 161 Marier Ave. The assembling will take place from 2 to 6 p.m. on July 5 with planting to begin on July 6 from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.

would continue with their Action Plan for Seniors, which provides coverage for prescription drugs, in order to ease the financial strains many confront. “Ontario’s health-care system is a proud part of our history, and we will continue to adapt and evolve just as this facility has done to accommodate the needs of all its wonderful residents,� she said. “Our government’s vision for this province is built on the promise of a fair society, where everyone gets the care and respect they deserve.�

and by a $32-million mortgage from Infrastructure Ontario. The Perley and Rideau Veterans’ Health Centre provides quality care for seniors, serving veterans and an increasing number of other seniors from the community. Ottawa South MP David McGuinty called the moment a proud one for seniors and veterans across Ottawa and the province. “This really does show how we can cooperate across all levels of government,� he said. He gave kudos to his brother, former premier and MPP for Ottawa South Dalton McGuinty, for leading the way when it came to ensuring the needs of seniors were met. “This (Perley and Rideau) is just an example of what we need to do

McGuinty said he hoped to see more of an engaging discussion take place on this topic. “It’s not like we need fewer (longterm care facilities),� he said. In the future, McGuinty added, they need to ensure the right tax incentives are put in place for seniors, and be able to provide seniors with more options – long-term care versus private home care, for instance, decisions families struggle with as their loved ones grow older and require round-the-clock assistance. “This is a good moment to be inspired by Perley and Rideau,� he said.

A national approach to finding an appropriate and affordable strategy for seniors is also paramount, he added. “Affordability does become an issue for seniors,� McGuinty noted. “We need to look at where we need to go as a country. This is not a partisan issue.� Mayor Watson said it was encouraging to see all levels of government work closely together to bridge gaps in affordable housing. “We’re so grateful for the important role the Perley and Rideau Veterans’ Centre Seniors Village plays for our community,� he said. The city, he went on to say, is committed to older adults. See BILLIONS, page 4 Montreal BMW Retailers

“As Ontario grows, as our population ages, we have a responsibility to continue to care for one another, To keep pushing ourselves to adapt to the needs of our communities. We must find ways to offer people the lifestyle they deserve and the attention they require. And that’s why this new Seniors Village is so important.� The development, she continued, is part of our shared vision for Ontario. “Its design demonstrates the care, compassion and foresight that is possible within our broader health care system,� she said. “In these apartments, seniors can live in comfort and enjoy one another’s company. They will have the support they require with their daily tasks, whether they need to take their medication or unload a bag of groceries from the store. They will enjoy beautiful green space, opportunities to participate in classes and enjoy their favourite hobbies.� The Perley and Rideau has recognized the emerging needs of these seniors, she said, including the necessity to provide services for those with dementia, and the very need for affordable housing. This facility will improve its residents’ lives, and also help to ease the strain on the province’s health care system as a whole, Wynne continued. “It will offer the best modern care for our seniors, while integrating the services they require and reducing the burden on our emergency rooms and hospitals,� she said. With the passing of the provincial budget, she said, it means they can move forward with their plan to invest $260 million this year in home and community care across Ontario. “That’s an unprecedented investment, but it is absolutely necessary if we are to adapt to the shifting demographics we see in our communities,� Wynne added. “As part of our plan, we have set a target to provide patients with nursing and support services within five days of their Community Care Access Centre assessment.� She mentioned the government

Billions invested by federal government Continued from page 3

In October 2012, city council approved the Older Adult Plan as a coordinated approach to addressing the specific needs of Ottawa’s older residents, while introducing a long-term vision of a community that values, empowers and supports older persons and their quality of life. MONEY WELL SPENT

The federal government, through CMHC, will invest approximately $2 billion in housing this year. Of this amount, $1.7 billion will be spent in support close to 594,000 households living in existing social housing. In Ontario, this represents an estimated 237,950 households. These investments are improving the quality of life for lowincome Canadians and households living in existing social housing, including individuals who are homeless or at-risk of losing their homes, seniors, persons with disabilities, recent immigrants and Aboriginal people. Ontario continues to build

new affordable housing and repair existing units for Ontarians with housing needs. Since 2009, the provincial government has provided more than $191 million to build new rental housing units for low-income seniors and persons with disabilities. Since 2003, Ontario’s funding commitment of nearly $3 billion is the largest affordable housing program in the province’s history. Ontario is supporting the creation of over 17,000 affordable rental housing units; making more than 263,000 repairs and improvements to social and affordable housing units; and providing rental down payment assistance to over 81,000 households in need.

Premier Kathleen Wynne joined other community and political leaders in the official opening of the new affordable housing wing at the Perley and Rideau Veterans’ Centre. The first phase of 45 new rental housing units for the facilty’s Seniors Village was held June 19.

Escapade Music Festival brings electronic dance music to life Canada Day weekend celebration takes over RA Centre

A FULLY ESTABLISHED COMMUNITY IN HISTORICAL BATH

Sabine Gibbins Sabine.gibbins@metroland.com

EMC Entertainment – Pump up the volume, Ottawa. The beat will go on for the fourth-annual Escapade Music Festival, the first festival of its kind in the area, set to take place over the Canada Day weekend near the banks of the Rideau River. Director of partnerships and sponsors, Ali Shafaee, who is also one of the founding members of the festival, said the event has grown from reaching 4,000 electronic/dance music fans to more than 10,000 over the years. Initially setting up a stage in the ByWard Market, they found the demand increasing, and moved to the grounds at the RA Centre on Riverside Drive, which they now call home. This year, they expect to see anywhere between 15,000 and 20,000 people, said Shafaee. The numbers are just a testament to the growing popularity of this genre of music, he said. The event is dedicated to the development of the electronic music scene in the National Capital Region, with the goals of producing a uniquefestival during Canada Day. In 2010, the event was headlined by Canadian-born superstar and Grammy-award winning DJ and producer Deadmau5. This year, the festival returns with Tiesto, who is considered one of the most popular DJ’s in the world. Tiesto played to sold-out crowds in 2011 and 2012 in the ByWard Market, which provided the 4,000 in attendance with an intimate yet party-inspired performance. Attendees also had the

This year’s edition of the Escapade Music Festival will feature dance and electronic-themed music for those who have a passion for the music genre. chance to be entertained by international stars Laidback Luke and Calvin Harris, as well as six local and national DJs. “We’ve really seen the evolution of the festival,” said Shafaee. This type of music generally attracts those between the ages of 16 and 29, he said. The festival itself, said Shafaee, really stands out because there is no other musical event like it.m “It has its own brand,” he said, adding they hope to take it across the country even more. We definitely saw the need for it.” Shafaee hopes to see this genre of music become more popular in Canada, and especially to the younger crowd. “I think it’s happy music,” he said when asked what attracts its fans. “The songs aren’t something too specific, there’s really no melody to it. It’s high energy, which is what the youth are mainly attracted to.”

This year will see the festival have two stages, one specifically for main headliners, and the other for tech house and bass music, as well as a mix of local and international DJs, The calibre of artists this year will also only continue to blossom into the future. Headliners this year include Above and Beyond, Steve Lawler, Steve Angello, Rusko, and Tiesto, with a whole host of other local talent involved, such as Orléans Ryan Labelle. “I think the biggest thing is just seeing the people leaving satisfied, and knowing we can give them the type of music they love,” said Shafaee. “Seeing the photos after, you see how much enjoyment they got out of it. Last year, many said they had the time of their life.” The festival begins on Saturday, June 29 and runs until July 1. For more information, please visit www.escapademf. com.

What makes you proud to be a Canadian? event in history, which was in reality, a huge event. We should be thankful for the amazing country we live in. Why does everyone move to Canada? Because Canada is a wonderful country! Why does Canada have a high Human Development Index (HDI)? Because its citizens are provided with healthcare, education, safety, and freedom! Why do all countries want to trade with Canada? Because Canada has amazing oceans, mountains, and land, which are all filled with valuable resources! I am thankful for Canada Day, because without it, we wouldn’t be the country we are today. As my history teacher always says: “History is not about old guys in beards. It is about how the world is how it is today.” Vedashri Shimpi South Ottawa ***

Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

What makes you a proud Canuck? This week, the Ottawa South News prints some of the letters sent by our readers telling us what they love about Canada.

History a valuable lesson Dear Editor, My name is Vedashri Shimpi. I am a Grade 7 student at Roberta Bondar Public School. In history (class), I am learning about the rebellions of Upper and Lower Canada. I am glad the rebellions happened because they made the Canada we have today. We wouldn’t have a democracy, we wouldn’t have a Canada if it weren’t for such a “small”

Simply Canadian Dear Editor, What makes me proud to be a Canadian? The answer is very simple; we are simple people from coast to coast. We sing Oh Canada when needed and we are happy when we support our sports teams win or lose, simply because we participate. When the Ottawa Food Bank announces they are running low on food collection, we flood them with donations. We participate in every run being held, whatever the cause is, to show support and I am sure it is the same from coast to coast. That’s what we are: we are simple Canadians. We moan and groan about weather and we say few things about scandals (never a dull moment) about politics whether it is at federal, provincial and city

level but we carry on. We are simple Canadians, nothing more nothing less and this is enough of a reason to be a proud Canadian. A proud Canadian, Anant Nagpur Old Ottawa South ***

Soaring to greater heights Dear Editor, It was Col. Chris Hadfield who made me proud to be a Canadian and want to be better. He reminded me that Canadians who are the best in their field can also have a big sense of humour, make technical subjects sound simple, can engage young children and can also play the guitar and sing.

Encore Steel fined $75,000 EMC news - Encore Steel, an Ottawa steel fabricator, has been ďŹ ned $75,000 for a violation of the Occupational Health and Safety Act after a worker was fatally injured. On June 4, 2012, two workers were loading steel beams onto a truck at an Encore Steel industrial facility located at 1090 Cummings Ave. When the truck was loaded, one of the workers climbed up on to the load of beams

Encore Steel pleaded guilty to failing to ensure that materials were lifted, carried or moved in a way that did not endanger a worker. The ďŹ ne was imposed by Justice of the Peace John A. Balkwill. In addition to the ďŹ ne, the court imposed a 25-per-cent victim ďŹ ne surcharge, as required by the Provincial Offences Act. The surcharge is credited to a special provincial government fund to assist victims of crime.

to ensure that they were stable and to help strap them down. While standing on the load, that worker instructed the other to use a forklift to move a beam closer to the middle of the truck. The worker standing on the load remained there while the other used the forklift to move the beam. The beam slipped off the forks and knocked the worker off the truck. The worker fell 2.9 metres to the ground and sustained fatal injuries.

EDITORIAL

Well, what now Queen’s Park?

S

o, the province has declared it won’t support an interprovincial bridge crossing at Kettle Island. OK. This newspaper has supported the construction of at bridge at that location in the past, but barring a change in the political winds, the route favoured by the National Capital Commission appears to be dead in the water. But what does the city do now? That the capital region needs another Ottawa River crossing does not need any further justification: the last bridge, Portage, was built by the NCC in 1973 when the area population stood at about half of what it is now. As cities grow, the need for infrastructure grows along with it. So what do we do now? The province has said it will work with the city to develop a new transportation master plan to accommodate future growth, but the need for a new interprovincial crossing can’t be ignored by such an exercise – Ottawa and Gatineau don’t exist independently of one another. Some have suggested constructing a tunnel beneath the river to divert truck traffic away from Lowertown – King Edward Avenue is currently the most-used route into the city for trucks moving to and from Gatineau – but such a plan would cost

significantly more than a bridge. Perhaps one of the other routes studied by the NCC, at Lower Duck Island or McLaurin Bay, would be better. Except they have both been identified as being more expensive, according to the NCC’s studies, and would require significant additional infrastructure to connect with the rest of the road network. Whatever the answer, action needs to be taken. An east-end interprovincial crossing has been discussed for decades and the issues are not going away any time soon. The efficient transport of goods to and from the city is vital to economic growth, which effects employment, wealth and consumer prices in the capital region. Now that the province has taken its stand, what will it do to address the problem? It was not particularly helpful to denounce a plan without offering an alternative. Perhaps the government wants to take some time to study the issue, but haven’t we been doing just that for more than 20 years? It would have been more responsible of Transportation Minister Glenn Murray to resist making his announcement until the province had something tangible to offer the residents of Ottawa in the way of an alternative. No action simply is not a responsible choice when it comes to Ottawa’s future.

You can’t get there from here in a big city

T

he other day someone was talking in the paper about light rail and the lamentable absence of a north-south route. As luck would have, this discussion coincided with a couple of drives to the airport and back, in the period between 4 and 6 p.m. Don’t ever do this. As far as I can figure out, having tried all the available routes to and from the middle west of Ottawa, you can’t get there from here. And you can’t get back. And sure, you can suggest picking some other time of day, but you might have a hard time convincing the airlines to change their schedules. The big problem is that everybody wants to go south and more and more of them are choosing the Airport Parkway (by the way, how come it hasn’t been named after Sir John A. Macdonald yet?). Most of them don’t use the parkway to get to the airport. They us it get to other places and the parkway, nicely narrowing from four lanes to two just when the four are most needed, can’t handle the traffic. Nor can Bronson Avenue, as the people who live in the Glebe have long known. And even getting to the parkway is no pic-

At certain points the east-bound and west-bound travellers can stare across the median at each other as they sit mired in traffic. That leaves the Merivale-Hunt Club-Uplands Drive option, which worked pretty well about 15 years ago. Merivale is, well, Merivale. And Hunt Club has a huge jam-up, just about any time of day, at its Riverside and Prince of Wales intersections. Still, it takes about the same amount of time as the Baseline-Merivale-Airport Parkway option – which is to say, twice the amount of time it takes in off hours. You’d think it would be easier coming back, but it isn’t. The parkway sails along

nicely, but Hunt Club has the same problems going east. Baseline-Heron has the same congestion going west. Face it, everybody wants to go everywhere. At a certain time of day, every direction in Ottawa seems to contain a favourite destination. You can sit still in your car no matter which direction you are facing. One driver, lulled by a smooth ride north on the parkway, decided to stay on it, head north on Bronson to Carling. That worked well until three blocks from the Carling intersection, when everything decided to stop moving for 15 minutes. An option would have been to keep going and turn onto the Queensway, but why would anyone do that? It is easy enough for an occasional visitor to the airport to complain, but there are people who have to do this, or a variation of it, every day, usually at a time when everybody else is trying to do it as well. And you only have to drive south a bit and look at all the new construction to realize that the situation is going to be way worse in the near future. It would be nice to think that the new Strandherd Bridge, if it is ever finished, will make things better, but it is hard to see how it can help much. Building some light rail out there would

really help, but that is probably decades in the future, not to mention many millions of dollars. More houses are going up and more people are traveling on the same roads. Maybe some of them will start working from home. Maybe some employers may decide to locate where the people are. You can only hope. Meanwhile there will be considerable agitation to build more lanes on this road and that, which never seems to solve anything. We wanted to become a big city. Well, guess what.

Sleep isn’t a luxury – it’s essential BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse suggest that sleep deprived individuals act in a similar way to those under the influence of alcohol, even putting women at higher risk of sexual harassment and unwanted pregnancies. Just last week, my family doctor mentioned research circulating in the medical community that seems to be strengthening the link between long-term sleep deprivation and fibromyalgia, a chronic pain and fatigue disorder. Ninety per cent of fibromyalgia patients are women. A 2011 Norwegian study on the subject shockingly concluded that long-term sleep deprivation triples women’s risk of getting fibromyalgia. Researchers began by interviewing 12,350 healthy, painfree women about their sleep habits. A decade later, those who had identified sleep difficulties at the beginning of the study were three times more likely than those who said they slept well to have developed fibromyalgia symptoms. All this is horrible and shocking, but is it enough to make a nation of fatigued individuals change our behaviour? Probably not. But what if we consider how inadequate sleep affects our children? I have friends -- mothers --

that haven’t had a full night’s sleep in more than a decade. They don’t believe in sleeptraining, they say, which means they’ve got toddlers waking every two hours to feed and school-aged children refusing bedtimes or waking up frequently with night terrors. Although my friends seem to be coping for the moment – I’m not sure how – I worry about their health in 10 years’ time, and the health of their children. Children need a lot more sleep than parents realize. School-age kids need 10-11 hours of uninterrupted sleep per night to be healthy. Kids under four need 11-12 hours of consecutive sleep per night, plus 2-3 hours during the day. And what happens if they don’t? Well, not only does it put their immune systems at higher risk of contracting viruses, but, as Savage notes in her Maclean’s piece, researchers have found “inadequate sleep in children has been linked to hyperactivity and even incorrect diagnosis of attention deficit disorder (ADD).�

Recently, we were experiencing some issues with one of our children. Was it ADD? He seemed chronically anxious, temperamental and frustratingly inattentive. It wasn’t until I started researching sleep that I realized he’s been running a deficit for several weeks – call it end-ofschool fever. We rolled back his bedtime by an hour and, within a week, he’s become a different kid. When I’ve advocated for sleep training to some parents, they’ve made the false assumption that sleep training causes anxiety. In fact, the opposite is true. Most disturbing to me, as a parent, is the link between sleep deprivation and depression, including chronic depression leading to suicide. As a parent, I see it as my responsibility – not a mere choice – to teach my kids to respect sleep, and show them, with love, how to get there, from as early as possible. Now that summer has arrived, I’m happy to say that I’m no longer eating, drinking and sitting all day long. In fact, I’m working out two hours per day minimum. The only exception is on days when I don’t get a good night’s sleep. Thankfully, even with an infant (who sleeps 11 hours consecutively per night, on average), we’ve managed to keep those to a minimum.

f health statistics are to be believed, I spent most of the winter living like most of you, dear readers. In other words, I ate too much, sat too much, drank too much and failed to get 150 minutes of exercise per week, (like a shocking 80 per cent of adult Canadians). These are all things that contribute to chronic disease and early death. As a recent Maclean’s cover story highlighted, however, there’s something else that’s debilitating and slowly killing us -- sleep deprivation. Adults require 8.5 hours of sleep, on average, per night, yet most of us are running a devastating sleep deficit. The June 24th feature highlighted a number of disturbing medical studies that would suggest it’s time to better prioritize sleep in our lives. One, out the University of Chicago, restricted seven healthy, thin volunteers to 4.5 hours of sleep per night. “Their very cells had been transformed,� summarizes journalist Luiza Ch. Savage in Maclean’s. “It was as if the bodies of the otherwise healthy specimens had been swapped with that of someone else: someone heavy and sick.� Savage goes onto summarize a number of international studies that not only link sleep deprivation to depleted cell growth and repair, diabetes and obesity, but also to decreased pain tolerance, weakened memory and impaired social judgment.

EMC News - The Ottawa police paid tribute to officers, emergency personnel, volunteers, and members of the public during their annual Community/Police Awards Ceremony, honouring individuals for their acts of bravery and service to the community on June 18 at Tudor Hall in south Ottawa. Mayor Jim Watson said he was honoured to attend such a moving ceremony. “Tonight we are recognizing a number of individuals who have made significant contributions to both our community and to the Ottawa Police Service,” he said. “Whether you are members of the Ottawa Police Service, or members of the public, each of you should be commended for your commitment to our community.” Chair of the police services board Eli El-Chantiry said it was the police services turn to say “thank you.” “It’s not just what you do on the job every day, it’s what you do over and beyond the job,” he told the recipients.

Dragon Boat Festival celebrates 20 years Sabine Gibbins sabine.gibbins@metroland.com

EMC Events – The 2013 edition of the Ottawa Dragon Boat Festival celebrated its biggest year ever this past weekend. Thousands of paddlers and spectators descended on Mooney’s Bay Park to watch as North America’s largest dragon boat festival got underway. The festival raises funds for a variety of Ottawa charities, a charitable component which was added in 1998, and has raised approximately $2.5 million for local organizations through the annual Pledge Challenge. The Ottawa Dragon Boat Foundation was established in 2003 to help focus and grow the level of community support. Festival CEO John Brooman said in an earlier interview they were looking forward to this year’s festival as it commemo-

rated 20 years in Ottawa. “We couldn’t do this without the continuing support from our generous sponsors, various granting bodies, and community organizations,â€? he said. Anticipation is always high as the dates draw nearer, he said, and practice paddles set approximately two weeks prior to the event commence at the Rideau Canoe Club off Hog’s Back. A total of 16 boats had been shipped from Toronto a few weeks ago to allow teams to practice for the event. Brooman said they had been expecting to see at least 70,000 people on the festival grounds. The fun was even more inspired by Canadian rock bands Sloan and Raine Maida (of Our Lady Peace). The festival also saw crowds rock out to the Sam Roberts Band, Born RufďŹ ans, Great Lake Swimmers, The Balconies,

Autums Cannon, Kalle Mattson, The Matinee, The Joynt, Sam Cash and The Romantic Dogs, The Treasures and Devin Cuddy, son of Blue Rodeo’s lead singer Jim Cuddy. Although Mother Nature did send torrents of rain down on the festival, the races went on, starting Saturday bright and early at 7 a.m. and going until mid-afternoon. Sunday saw the championship rounds and trophies awarded. The festival ofďŹ cially kicked off on Friday, featuring the RCAF Pipes and Drums who lead the Parade of Champions, which consisted of teams and charities, into the main tent and beach bar to participate in the ofďŹ cial opening ceremony preceding the Charity Challenge Cup Races. The evening was highlighted by concerts from the Sam Roberts Band and Ottawa’s own The Balconies.

Brooman said the festival pays homage to the larger Chinese tradition which dates back 2,400 years. Dragon boat racing began in South East China as a fertility rite to avert misfortune and bring rain by worshipping the dragon. A dragon boat is a slim 44’ racer with a dragon’s head at the bow and a tail at the stern Each dragon boat holds 22 participants, including 20 paddlers, one drummer and one steersperson Over 200 teams participate d this year in competitive, corporate, and community groups. A new race was held every nine minutes A non-proďŹ t festival, the event aw family fun and entertainment take place all weekend long, with many multicultural performances and sports demonstrations.

When he realized what had just transpired, he chased the suspect and attempted to restrain him until police ofďŹ cers arrived. Although the suspect managed to ee, McRae was able to obtain sufďŹ cient vehicle information to identify and capture the suspect. Unknown to McRae at the time, this suspect was a known offender, and had been wanted in several robberies, where the suspect was deemed to be wearing a gun. • CertiďŹ cate of Merit Recipient: Michael Ayotte On May 12, 2012, while working in the Ottawa police call centre, Michael Ayotte noticed that one of his coworkers was choking. She was pale in colour, holding her hands around her neck. When her chest and face began turning red, Ayotte successfully and repeatedly performed the Heimlich maneuver until the item was lodged from her throat. Recipients: Paramedics Pierre Sabourin, Steve Leu, Juan Pablo Montoya Villegas On May 19, 2012, ofďŹ cers attended a disturbance where a male had been involved in a ďŹ ght and had been refusing medical treatment. The male was verbally abusive towards the ofďŹ cers and refused to cooperate. The ofďŹ cers left the scene as the male refused treatment. Later that same evening, ofďŹ cers were called back by paramedics to

deal with the same male. He was once again uncooperative and belligerent to both ofďŹ cers and paramedics. While the police were struggling to arrest the male, the girl had been retained by the paramedics as she was attempting to lunge at the ofďŹ cers. The ofďŹ cers were busy struggling with the male and did not know that they were in harm’s way. Recipients: Hillary Berger, Jennifer Jodoin, Hayley Anez, and Jada ten Holder On July 5, 2012, Ottawa police were dispatched to the Nepean Sportsplex where a female victim was found with no vital signs in the pool area. Early that afternoon, the victim was noticed unconscious and at the bottom of the pool by two 11-year-old girls – Hayley Anez and Jada ten Holder. They immediately went to get the lifeguards, who were able to pull the female out of the pool and perform cardio pulmonary resuscitation until the victim regained consciousness.

On Oct. 12, 2012, Steven Tompa noticed a vehicle travelling slowly around the neighbourhood. Tompa, who works as a dispatcher, remembered that the evening before, police had asked Blueline (taxi company) to keep an eye out for an elderly man with Alzheimers. Tompa called the police and continued to follow the vehicle until the police were able to intercept the car and return the gentleman to his residence. • Thomas G. Flanagan S.C. Scholarship Recipient: Urge Ibrahim Born and raised in the south end of Ottawa, Urge Ibrahim has set her sights on the police service. Ibrahim is one of six children, whose parents immigrated from Ethiopia in 1987, and will be the ďŹ rst of her family to graduate from a recognized university.

The United Way Ottawa announced it will hand out more than $20 million in funding for community programs, initiatives and social services this year.

OFFERING INDEPENDENT LIVING, RESIDENTIAL CARE AND ASSISTED LIVING

United Way to invest millions in community michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC news - The United Way Ottawa announced it will be investing more than $20 million dollars into the community this year. The United Way made the announcement that $24.5 million will be invested to programs, organizations and front-line services this year at the Michele Heights Community Centre on June 17. About half of the funding will go directly to three of the organization’s focused areas: “growing up great,” “belonging to community” and “turning lives around.” Jamie McCracken, chairman of the United Way board, attended the event, saying this funding announcement was only made possible because of the support from donors. “Today’s announcement shows that thanks to the generosity of our donors,” he said. “You can see how this work is changing lives today and contributing to the positive community improvements we want to see tomorrow.” The organization also released, for the first time, a report which details how donations made to the organization help contribute to change in the city at the announcement. The organization changed the way the way it allocates money raised from its annual campaign more than two years ago, crafting priorities and funding criteria in order to appeal to donors. Jeffrey Dale, chairman of the United Way’s community services cabinet, said the new report points to the impact of donations have on the community’s future. “Donors want to know how their contributions are invested and how they are making a difference,” he said. In March, United Way announced that $30 million was raised for the community campaign. Of the $24 million to be handed out,

$12.8 million will be directed towards front-line programs, community-wide initiatives, targeted community investment and research focused on United Way’s three focused areas. “Growing up great” will receive $2.9 million to support community development work, with 29 front-line programs delivered by 20 agencies receiving $2.2 million, the Ottawa Child and Youth Initiative and other community development strategies receiving $299,000 and the targeted community investment receiving $$383,000. “Belonging to community” will receive $3.9 million, with $2.6 million being given to 32 agencies that run 45 different programs in the city and $1.3 million will be divided to two community-wide initiatives, Hire Immigrants Ottawa and the Employment Accessibility Resource Network. “Turning lives around” will receive $4 million, with $3.3 million of the funding going to 27 agencies who run 31 programs in the city. The remaining $302,000 will be given to other community development strategies and $340,000 will be handed out in grants and targeted community investment funding. United Way’s priority goal to strengthen the capacity of social services sector in Ottawa will receive $687,000 with $599,000 of this funding will be handed out to five agencies’ five programs. The remaining $88,000 will go towards community development strategies. The United Way will use $1.3 million for work related to research, evaluation and management of the investment in priority goal partners’ programs and services that support the achievement of priority goals. At the request of donors, $11.7 million will be handed out to more than 4,200 other registered Canadian charities.

Noise exemption approved City council gives green light towards construction on Carleton parking garage Staff

EMC news - City council has approved more late-night construction noise in Capital Ward. Carleton University asked for some leeway under the city’s noise control bylaw in order to conduct work on a parking garage it is building overtop of the O-Train tracks.

The motion put forward by the local councillor, David Chernushenko, states that the project includes bulk excavation concrete pouring and related works that require operation of construction equipment and vehicles around the clock. City staff said pile driving – the noisiest type of work – won’t be allowed after 9 p.m. and will end

around July 20. Work will continue for a week after that to extract the dug-up soil and rock and to assemble the parking structure. The nearest homes are 275 metres away from the work site, the motion notes. The councillor said that he was a little reluctant to move the motion

because he will be able to hear the construction noise from his bedroom window, but he is in support of the noise bylaw exemption. The city had to fasttrack the exemption so the construction can be done in time for O-Train service to restart in late August, according to the motion put forward by Chernushenko.

Father overworked, overtired this time of year

W

ould he topple over and fall out of the rocker? Would he hit the floor with a thud, maybe banging his head on the oven door? I was sitting at the kitchen table. I was alone. My sister Audrey said she had better things to do than waste time looking through the Eaton’s catalogue. The three brothers were doing what they did every night in the summer: they were outside throwing balls, using their sling shots or shooting off their B.B. guns. Mother was in the garden. It was just me and Father in the kitchen. The sun was still streaking through the west window and the kitchen had been redded up. Bedtime was just a couple hours away. I sat very quietly watching Father. He looked smaller, I thought. Maybe it was the way he was sleeping in the rocker. He didn’t hear his pipe fall to the floor and the Ottawa Farm Journal lay across his knees unopened. His chin was on his chest and I could see him breathing, his plaid shirt rising and falling gently. It had been a long day for Father. Chores were done before sun-up. The plow and other pieces of farm machinery had been moved on the

MARY COOK Memories stone boat to the back fields across the Bonnechere and over the West Hill weeks before. By the time Father was finished with the morning chores, got the milking done and eaten his breakfast, he would be ready to take the team across the shallowest part of the Bonnechere and head over to the back fields. He would have picked up the basket of lunch Mother had made the night before, and we wouldn’t see him again until it was time to come back home for the evening chores. And so I sat and watched Father and wondered if he would have enough strength left to even get out of his clothes and fall into bed. Dust of the fields still clung to his face. He had taken off his work boots and his heavy wool socks were covered in soil and bits and pieces of grass. I knew if he rolled down the legs of his overalls, there would be more of the same trapped in the folds. I could see the edge of his com-

bination underwear showing under his plaid shirt, and I wondered if I dared go and straighten up his head, so that he would be more comfortable. But of course that would wake him from his much needed sleep. I wondered why he didn’t go to bed right after his supper, as I sat and watched his worn out body curled uncomfortably in the old rocker. But then he wouldn’t be able to check on the barns, which he never failed to do before falling into bed. No, this was Father’s routine and nothing was going to change it this time of year. There were fields to plow and cultivate, and grain to plant. There was scant time to do it in, as Father tried to outsmart the weather. So from dawn to dusk, Father like every other farmer around us, was tied to the habits of the season. Father wasn’t a big man. The three brothers were all taller by several inches. My brother Emerson towered over him. But Father was wiry and as straight as a die. But as I sat and watched him, I was scarcely breathing and making not a sound, so that I wouldn’t disturb his rest, I thought he looked so much older than he did before summer planting began. He was always so much more

tired after supper this time of year. The heat of the day was heavy on him and even though it was summer, he still wore his plaid shirts with the long sleeves. But he did give up his felt hat with the ear lugs changing to his old battered straw hat, with the wide black headband, marred with the sweat off his brow. So I sat quietly, watching Father

He had taken off his work boots and his heavy wool socks were covered in soil and bits and pieces of grass breathe, not a muscle stirring in either of us. And I was overcome with a deep sadness, as I looked at him in the rocking chair, his feet in their usual place on the turneddown oven door. I wondered, can someone die from overwork? What if one day he didn’t come home from the back fields? What would happen to us? The sun had gone down behind the grape arbour and the kitchen was darkening, but yet there was daylight and I was still alone at the

old pine table, Eaton’s catalogue unopened in front of me, and with my eyes never leaving Father. He would stay there until everyone came in from outside, banging doors and scraping their feet on the mat, tossing their bats and balls into the box beside the stove. Mother would stop a moment in front of Father and then she would do what she did every night this time of year: she would tap Father on the shoulder. She may have to do it several times to bring him out of his deep sleep. He would slowly raise his head and look around the kitchen as if he were lost. I would move myself away from the table and go over to the rocker and pick his pipe up off the floor and put the Ottawa Farm Journal on the bake table. Father would shuffle over to the bedroom door off the kitchen and he would turn to Everett and tell him to be sure to check the barns before he went to bed. Soon I would hear the creaking of the bed springs and if I listened closely from my spot at the kitchen table, I would hear a deep sigh, followed by soft snores as Father settled down his tired body for the night. It was just another day, no different than the one before, and no different than the one coming after.

Vanier Farmers Market will be located at the former Belisle Cadillac Chevrolet dealership at 444 Montreal Rd. this year. The market starts on July 13.

Vanier Farmers Market moves to new location Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC news - Quartier Vanier Farmers Market will move locations this summer, moving to the eastern edge of the neighbourhood at the former Belisle Cadillac Chevrolet dealership. The move came after the Vanier business improvement area received notice that its current location in a Scotiabank parking lot, where the market has operated for the past ďŹ ve years, was no longer available. Suzanne Valiquet, executive director of the BIA, said the organization began looking for a new location as quickly as it could and sought suggestions from the community. “We hope it will attract everybody,â€? she said. “Yes, it’s a bit further walk from the central core (of the neighbourhood), but it’s either there or not at all. No other location was available.â€? Top choices for the new location included the St. Charles Church yard and another bank parking lot at Desjardin, both of which Valiquet said they explored, but could not acquire. “It’s hard with private property,â€? Valiquet said. “If they

In developing the budget, staff and the Board of Trustees listened carefully to the input received from schools and communities across Ottawa; we reviewed current operations, and we carefully measured initiatives against the District’s strategic plan, which sets the direction of the board for a four-year period. Combined, the strategic investments that will be made through the 2013-14 budget will ensure that OCDSB students will be able to continue demonstrating sustained increases in their learning − results of which the entire OCDSB community can be proud of.

&IVE YEAR 4RENDS IN !CHIEVEMENT $ATA – 2007-2012 The ďŹ ve-year trends in achievement by OCDSB students show signiďŹ cant growth in all areas. In our primary EQAO assessment, there has been a ďŹ ve percent increase in Reading, an 11 percent rise in Writing, and a three percent increase in Mathematics. In comparison, their Grade 3 provincial counterparts experienced a ďŹ ve percent increase in Reading, a ten percent increase in Writing, and no change in Mathematics. At the junior level, our Grade 6 students experienced a nine percent increase in achievement in Reading, a seven percent improvement in Writing, and a two percent decrease in Mathematics. At the provincial level, a nine percent increase in Reading, a seven percent rise in Writing and a three percent decrease in Mathematics were achieved during this same time period.

say no, you can’t do it.â€? Valiquet said Belisle on the other hand welcomed the BIA with open arms. The Belisle dealership closed its doors at the end of 2012, but the property remains in the hands of Paul Belisle. Valiquet said the new location is a bit further away from Vanier’s core, but she hopes it will encourage more residents who live south of Montreal Road, as well as residents who live in Brittany Park, Carson Grove and Overbrook, to visit the market. “Aside from a market in Orleans, our market is the only one in the east end,â€? she said. “Hopefully we will be able to rebuild here that the community will be able to support.â€? With the new location, Quartier Vanier said it hopes it will be able to expand, both with more farmers selling their wares as well as activities for residents to enjoy. One bonus, Valiquet said, is more bands will be able to perform, because there will be more space for the market to spread out. There are also plans to bring in picnic tables and benches for people to sit and enjoy some of the food they purchase. “We are working on making it expand, inviting and accepting vendors that we have over the years, we are inviting others to expand,â€? Valiquet said. The new location, she said, has perks the former one did not. Along with a transit stop nearby, it also boasts ample parking for residents who are looking to purchase a pile of food. Although the new location is closer to two grocery stores, Valiquet said the market will be the best place to purchase fresh produce grown in the Ottawa region. “If you want local stuff, come to our market,â€? Valiquet said. The BIA is still working on conďŹ rming vendors, but Valiquet said the usual suspects will be back, including Alpenblick Farm, Rock ‘n’ Root Farm and Foster Family Farm. The market opens July 13 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and will run Saturdays until Oct. 5.

Improve water quality: Spend more time in the hammock EMC news - Shoreline property owners who spend more time in the hammock this summer could be protecting the health of the Rideau River and its tributaries. Being in the hammock and spending less time mowing along the waterfront could mean more natural, vegetated shorelines. “There is simply no replacement for the beauty and function of natural plant communities along the shores of our Rideau River and its creeks and streams,” said Andrea Klymko, shoreline stewardship program manager at the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority.

“Disturbing these long-established communities often means eroding shorelines, lower water quality, fewer birds and animals, and a loss of economic and scenic value.” The authority has just released its Lower Rideau Subwatershed report. The report highlights the growing need for healthy shorelines to maintain watershed health. As a result, the RVCA’s shoreline naturalization program is offering planting projects completely free of charge to eligible landowners in the Lower Rideau Watershed for 2013 (Burritts Rapids to the Rideau Falls).

Projects generally include a confidential and no-obligation site visit, a customized planting plan, the purchase of bare root or potted trees and shrubs and full project management including planting labour. Unfortunately, one of the first things shoreline landowners sometimes do is “clean up” the shoreline - inadvertently making the first step towards the long, slow, cumulative march to a degraded watercourse. “A much better approach is to tuck away the lawnmower,” said Klymko. “Let mother nature do her job and enjoy your weekend relaxing.”

To sign up for your free site visit call Andrea Klymko at 613-692-3571 ext.1173 or Meaghan McDonald at 613-692-3571 ext.1192. Funding for this special project has been provided by the Rideau Valley Conservation Foundation, Environment Canada’s EcoAction community funding program, Shell’s Fuelling Change program, TD Friends of the Environment and many other partner groups. For more information on the Lower Rideau Subwatershed report, visit the RVCA website at www.rvca.ca.

Trout with fresh jerk sauce tantalizes the tastebuds EMC lifestyle - The delicate texture of farm raised-trout is enhanced by a light coating of cumin-scented cornmeal. As a contrast to its mild sweet taste, we’ve created a bold sauce from fresh Ontario vegetables. Preparation time: 15 minutes. Cooking time: 20 minutes. Serves four with 375 ml (1-1/2 cups) of sauce. INGREDIENTS

Fresh Jerk Sauce • 4 green onions, sliced • 3 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped • Half a jalapeno pepper, seeded and coarsely chopped • 1 sweet red pepper, cut into chunks • 3 large tomatoes, coarsely chopped • 15 ml (1 tbsp) packed brown sugar • 2 ml (1/2 tsp) each dried thyme leaves, ground ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg and garlic salt • 1 ml (1/4 tsp) cayenne pepper

• Canola oil •125 ml (1/2 cup) chopped fresh coriander (optional) Trout • 2 rainbow trout fillets (375 g/12 oz each), skin removed • 175 ml (3/4 cup) cornmeal • 15 ml (1 tbsp) ground cumin • 1 ml (1/4 tsp) salt • 1 egg • 75 ml (1/3 cup) milk • 20 ml (4 tsp) butter PREPARATION

Fresh jerk sauce: Place the onions, garlic and jalapeno in a food processor. Whirl until the contents are coarsely ground. Add the sweet pepper and tomatoes with seeds and juice. Add sugar, thyme, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, garlic salt and cayenne pepper. Pulse until the mixture is chunky and pepper is chopped, about 10 times. Don’t puree. In a large skillet, heat the

W E N ™

oil over medium heat. Add the sauce and boil gently, uncovered and stirring often, until thickened – about 20 minutes. Stir in the coriander, if you are using it. Trout: Cut fish into servingsize pieces. In a shallow dish, combine the cornmeal, cumin and salt. In another dish, whisk egg with milk. One at a time, coat both sides of fish in egg mixture and then in cornmeal mixture. In large skillet, melt 15 ml (1 tbsp) of the butter, over medium heat. Add the coated fish and cook until golden, for about three to five minutes. Add remaining butter to side of pan. Turn fish, letting melted butter flow over pan before placing fish down and cook for about three to five minutes. Remove to plates. Spoon the jerk sauce on top and beside the fish.

Ottawa Senators forward Chris Neil signs the shirt of one of the Jumpstart program’s participants after the hockey club announced the renaming of what was formerly Scotiabank Place to Canadian Tire Centre on June 18. dian Tire, and also bring their charities even closer together to serve our community. “Without a doubt, this is a partnership that is good for our business, our hockey team, and most importantly, good for our community and our fans,” said Melnyk. Senior vice president of corporate affairs for Canadian Tire, Duncan Fulton, said the signing of the agreement allows them the chance to

We are going to bring many, many exciting fan enhancements to the building, to the community, and more importantly, to our fans CYRIL LEEDER OTTAWA SENATORS PRESIDENT

review the contract every decade or so, with an unlimited number of tender renewals. “The deal we have essentially allows us to be here as long as we’d ever want,” said Fulton. “This is a long term deal for us, and our history in sport and in this region should give everyone comfort that we are here for a very, very long time.” The partnership is a natural

fit, said Fulton, because both organizations share the same passion: sports. “We take seriously the role that we play in helping Canadians be active,” he added, before going on to say how Canadian Tire developed a program, Jumpstart, providing children with the opportunity to participate in sports and other activities. In January, Canadian Tire announced one of the largest commitments to amateur sport in the country with their partnership with the Canadian Olympic and Paralympic Teams, as well as the National Sport Federations, including Hockey Canada. Ottawa Senators president Cyril Leeder echoed Melnyk’s and Fulton’s comments, saying how the Canadian Tire brand has always been associated with hockey across the country. “We are going to bring many, many exciting fan enhancements to the building, to the community, and more importantly, to our fans,” he said. Scotiabank, he mentioned, will continue to be the official bank of the Ottawa Senators under a long term agreement. He thanked them for their long time partnership and support over the years. Part of that contract with Scotiabank was set to expire next year, said Melnyk, and Ottawa Senators were looking to take more of a direction towards sports, knowing full well their direction was more towards financial services.

EMC News – The Ottawa Senators have scored with a new partnership. Senators Sports & Entertainment announced on June 18 that the home of the NHL team, Scotiabank Place, will be renamed Canadian Tire Centre. Ottawa Senators owner Eugene Melnyk said the longterm agreement will include enhanced community and grassroots activities to help get more kids into the game. The agreement takes effect July 1 and arena-related signage will be in place in time for the 2013-14 NHL season. Present during the announcement were Sens players Daniel Alfredsson, Chris Neil, Kyle Turris, Patrick Wiercioch, and Chris Phillips. Children from Canadian Tire’s Jumpstart program were also on hand to meet their favourite Sens player after the formal announcement at Scotiabank Place. Melnyk called the partnership one that dated back to the club’s establishment, and which the organization could be proud. “We have many corporate and community sponsors that we are very proud to be associated with, but few who can say they’ve been with us from the very beginning,” he said. “It is a long and storied partnership that has strengthened over more than two decades in large part because of a mutual passion for the game of hockey. Needless to say, it’s a partnership we are very proud of, and are pleased to be able to build upon today’s announcement.” Melnyk said they decided to partner with the corporation not only because of its iconic brand, but because of its healthy relationship with its customers. “For me personally, any company that has the kind of track record of corporate citizenship that Canadian Tire does, a company who extensively supports community hockey programs and amateur sports development right across our country, is a partner that I know will be deeply committed to supporting our community and our fans now and well into the future,” he said. In addition, the partnership will see the launch of a new series of marketing and community programs with Cana-

War of 1812 monument design chosen Statue to be complete in 2014 Steph Willems steph.willems@metroland.com

EMC news - A new monument commemorating the War of 1812 will soon begin taking shape, destined for a permanent spot on Parliament Hill. The National Capital Commission announced last week that it had chosen a winning design for the monument, which will overlook the National War Memorial and Wellington Street from the high ground at the southeast corner of Parliament Hill. Toronto-based artist Adrienne Alison’s contribution, titled Triumph Through Di-

versity, was selected following a design competition and lengthy judging process that involved a public open house. During the March 20 event, residents weighed in on two finalists. “The War of 1812 was an incredibly important turning point in Canada’s history,” said Alison via media release. “As a sculptor, it’s a great honour to be selected to create this monument for Parliament Hill so that all Canadians can connect with this pivotal time in our history.” Created to mark the 200th anniversary of the beginning of the war that saw colonial

and first nations forces repel an American invasion of Upper and Lower Canada, the monument will be unveiled in the fall of 1814. The war brought with it a new sense of national unity within the fledgling British colony, leading to expansion and growth and paving the way for Confederation a

The War of 1812 was an incredibly important turning point in Canada’s history ADRIENNE ALISON

half century later. Triumph Through Diversity consists of seven bronze figures perched close together atop a granite pedestal, flanked by two small stone boats. The monument represents the “coming together” of the diverse array of combatants in the conflict, who each set aside their differences and took up arms to repel the invasion. Alison’s work illustrates the two theatres of that war, which occurred on both land and water. Etchings into the stone will tell the story of the War of 1812 to Parliament Hill visitors. At March’s open house, Alison said she wanted to create a monument that was educational, but also easy to understand.

Adrienne Alison’s design concept Triumph Through Diversity was chosen as the winning entry in the National Capital Commission’s War of 1812 monument contest. The full-size version will be unveiled on Parliament Hill in 2014.

City transportation planner Robin Bennett is seen in front of plans to construct a paved multi-use pathway along the Rideau River in Old Ottawa East. ner Robin Bennett, who is leading the project. “That’s what we’re aiming at,” Bennett said. Stone dust could be considered, but Bennett didn’t think it would be the treatment chosen in the end. The most complicated – and likely the most expensive portion – will be adding a ramp under the Transitway bridge at the Lees campus. “We may have to cut into the shoreline for the ramp,” Bennett said, due to the narrowness of the strip of land and Redesigning that section will also be important to ensure there is a safe, direct link for cyclists to get across Lees Avenue to the Transitway station, Bennett said. The Rideau River pathway isn’t the only cycling infrastructure proposed to come to Old Ottawa East. Earlier this week, the community got a glimpse of plans to rebuild it’s main artery, Main Street, as a “complete street” with cycling lanes. The city is spending $120,000 on the first design study for the pathway. Council would have to approve more money in the next budget for the project to proceed into detailed design.

More tunnelling still doesn’t please rail critics Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - The city’s plan to spend an additional $80 million to put 700 more metres of the western leg of the light-rail line underground isn’t enough to placate one community group. Underground Solution, a community group led by Skead Street resident Lesley Taylor, said the group doesn’t like what the city is proposing. City staff revealed changes to the 1.2-kilometre western LRT line on June 13 in advance of a public open house that was set to take place this Monday. The new plans, which include burying an additional section of the line that runs behind homes on Skead Street, was meant to reflect concerns raised by the community, said transportation committee chairman Coun. Keith Egli. The new buried section will run from the edge of Rochester Field to Clearly Street, where a new station is proposed to be built. That’s not enough, Taylor said. Underground Solution wants the entire 9.5-km western LRT line buried. At the moment, the city is proposing to put just over three kilometres of that length underground, including the portion that will run under Rich-

mond Road. “This is a step in the right direction and there are some good ideas here, but it needs to go further,” Taylor said, noting the changes don’t protect homeowners in the area of Dominion Avenue, where the rail line will still be at grade. The city’s alterations mean the train line will be underground where it passes closest to homes and it will

preserve the ability for people to use the green space between homes and the Sir John A. Macdonald Parkway, said deputy city manager Nancy Schepers. “(The city) forgot about the Barclay and Upper West,” Taylor said. “It’s not just six homes … There are a lot of condos there.” The cost of creating another section of tunnel can be contained to

$80 million because the short length of that segment means it can be ventilated naturally with openings along the line, rather than with a more expensive ventilation system, Schepers said. That means passengers on the train will get a glimpse of sunlight as they pass by certain points in that segment. The city will dig down about half the depth of that section of tunnel and build up a small berm over top – a process known as “cut and cover.” A more robust station at Cleary and a pathway system that includes protected crossings to the river are also included in the new plan. At the request of the National Capital Commission, the city also looked at burying an even longer section of the line, including the part that runs through Rochester Field, but that analysis didn’t change the city’s preferred corridor, Schepers said. Russell Mills, NCC chairman, said on June 13 that the federal board needs some technical meat on the westward light rail expansion’s bones before they give their assent. Mills said the board, which held a teleconference to discuss the plans Thursday, is not yet in the position to make a decision one way or the other.
